this is a property that appears to be a dairy farm. when we arrived, we saw investigators still inside a small house here, appearing to wrap up an investigation. they served a search warrant earlier today. of course, they are looking for the suspect. that is part of a larger manhunt, but we learned from the sheriffs that the suspect himself was not here. >> i did not know christmas morning at 4:00 in the morning when i said goodbye to him, and sent him off to his family, that it would be the last time that i saw him. >> reporter: clearly wracked with grief, the chief of the tiny newman police department asked that corporal singh be first remembered as a husband and father, and then as a cop. >> what needs to be known is that he was truly just a human being. an american patriot. >> reporter: the 33-year-old

did a simple alert to think this is the information we have, this is what's up. >> reporter: now, prison officials who did not want to appear on camera today say they alerted the media before midnight, but did not alert neighbors in the vicinity. that carjacking victim was not injured. police say mendoza likely armed and dangerous. if you see him, call 911. cornell bernard, "abc7 news." >> thank you. in the east bay, a delay today in the case against the man accused of murdering an 18-year-old woman at an oakland b.a.r.t. station. they were attacked at random in july. a judge ordered psychiatrists to examine the suspect and determine whether he is competent to stand trial. here's eric thomas. >> reporter: outside the courtroom, he was clear that the father concluded that the murder suspect is mentally fit to stand

trial, no matter what his defense attorney says. >> for him to do what he did, to carry out what he did so smoothly, you know, i think that's pretty competent. >> reporter: police allege in july he fate llly stabbed 18-year-old mia wilson and wiped off the knife, dumped it and changed his clothes. but today, the lawyer says he's showing signs of delusions and paranoia. a mental competency check could be the first step towards an always difficult-to-prove insanity defense. >> there aren't that many insanity defenses posed, and few succeed, because the standard, in fact, is quite high. >> reporter: he says the attorneys would have to prove that at the time of the attacks their client didn't know what he was doing or didn't understand he was morally wrong.

>> reporter: juries tend to be skeptical of that. the family's civil suit against b.a.r.t. for failing to keep dangerous people out of the stations is not affected. we spoke with their attorney by phone. >> we're not talking so much about the culpability of perp tr perpetrator, we're talking about the laxness of b.a.r.t. >> reporter: the victim's family is still pushing for a death penalty trial. eric thomas, "abc7 news." happening now, a wind advisory is in effect and will continue all through the night. you can see clear skies in this picture from our camera. meteorologist sandhya patel is here now with a look at those winds that we definitely felt if we were outside. >> absolutely, ama. it is still blustery, especially
